Yang Cheng spent a lot of time outside Qiao Su's store every day, but he didn't get anything. Although he could help Niu Ji buy snacks in Qiao Su's store to get some copper plates, for Yang Cheng, it was not enough for him to go to the gambling house to play.

finally fooled Wen Xiaomo to the dock, but what? Wen Xiaomo, the idiot, didn't entangle Qiao Su and let Qiao Su go back to the store early!

Yang Cheng is still a little clever on weekdays, but as soon as he drinks too much, there is no door on the side of his mouth.

Drinking and drinking, there were familiar bastards sitting with Yang Cheng, curious why Yang Cheng didn't go with them, he always went out early and returned late recently, and he didn't know what Yang Cheng was busy with.

At first, Yang Cheng was still a little vigilant, but as he drank more and more, he began to float! Going to the bazaar to steal chickens and dogs is hard and depends on luck, sometimes if you don't steal the right person, you have to be beaten and scolded, he doesn't do that kind of drudgery now, he met a foolish scholar......

Yang Cheng's bald mouth didn't matter, but Wen Xiaomo, who was drunk in the corner, heard it.

Wen Xiaomo was already choked by Qin Shen and Qiao Su, and when he heard Yang Cheng's purpose of letting him go to the dock at this time, he was even more angry.

However, Yang Cheng is not stupid, fortunately he didn't say Wen Xiaomo's name, but Wen Xiaomo can't pretend to be stupid. He was indeed using Yang Cheng, because only this kind of scoundrel could help him do something that was inconvenient for him. But use is use, Yang Cheng can't treat him as a fool!

Wine strengthens bear people's guts, it's really not in vain.

When Yang Cheng left drunk, Wen Xiaomo followed him.

Yang Cheng went all the way home, and he didn't notice Wen Xiaomo, who was looking at him with fierce eyes.

Wen Xiaomo is not stupid, so even if he follows Yang Cheng, he knows how to hide himself. From time to time, he would buy some things at the nearby shop, and coincidentally, there happened to be a shop here that bought rice paper, which was mentioned by the senior brother a few days ago, and it was said that this rice paper was sold cheaper than all the shops outside Yuzhou Academy.

He already knew Yang Cheng's home, so naturally he was not in a hurry, so he came to this shop to buy paper, and then found that the store also sold brushes made on site.

It is said that the thickness of this brush can also be slightly adjusted according to personal habits, Wen Xiaomo was dressed in a green robe from Yuzhou Academy, and attracted the attention of the store as soon as he entered.

"This objective is from Yuzhou Academy? Is it to buy rice paper at the store? Recently, a lot of students from the academy have come here! The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Wen Xiaomo nodded, "Not bad!" I heard from my brother that the rice paper here is good and cheap. His gaze fell on the table that the store had just gotten up, "The store still makes brushes here?" ”

"Yes!" The shopkeeper politely said, "The location of my store is too remote, and if it is expensive, there will be no one to come!" Besides, I have some ways to sell this rice paper, so if it is sold a little cheaper, it will not be a loss. ”

The shopkeeper walked to the edge of the table and picked up the pen shaft that he was working on just now, "You know, everyone's finger length and palm width are different, so this one, although it can be used, but it is definitely not as comfortable as the pen customized according to the shape of the individual's hand, especially for you scholars, who read and write every day, and use more pens than ordinary people, and comfortable pens are more important to you." ”

"Oh?" Wen Xiaomo followed Yang Cheng all the way, in fact, he had already lost a lot of alcohol, so when he heard the store's words, he immediately became interested, "Can I try it?" ”

"Of course, please!" The shopkeeper took out a few freshly made pen barrels, just put them in the tray, and then put the tray in front of Wen Xiaomo.

Wen Xiaomo tried one by one, and then he really found the difference.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know how much money it costs to make such a pen? How much time will it take? "If it's too expensive or too time-consuming, he won't be able to use it. It's so far away from the academy that if he doesn't take a break, he has to rent a carriage once he comes here, otherwise he won't be able to go back to catch up with his schoolwork. And although he had just received a sum of money from the academy, he ...... He still has to live!

"Soon!" The shopkeeper smiled, and he could probably understand Wen Xiaomo's predicament by looking at Wen Xiaomo's dress, so he said softly: "This kind of pen is available at any price, because the materials used are different." But if you're just looking for comfort, you're actually fine with this bamboo! Don't look at it cheap, but it's easy to use. ”

The shopkeeper didn't wait for Wen Xiaomo to speak, so he continued: "It's just custom-made, so it must be more expensive than ordinary brushes. ”

"One or two?" Although it is not cheap, the price is still acceptable to Wen Xiaomo, so Wen Xiaomo asked, "How many days will it take?" ”

The shopkeeper knew that the business was already in business, so he took out a sand table, "and ask the customer to put the handprint of the pen on it." ”

Wen Xiaomo nodded, pulled the sleeve of his shirt with his left hand, and opened the five fingers of his right hand and pressed it down.

Seeing him raise his hand, the shopkeeper took the sand table away, and then brought Wen Xiaomo a clean handkerchief for him to clean his hands, "I want to see if there is a pen body suitable for the guests first, if there is, then half an hour." ”

Wen Xiaomo nodded slightly, and then saw the shopkeeper measuring on the sand table with a soft ruler.

Soon, the shopkeeper took out a pen barrel from a tray, "Customers can try it." ”

Wen Xiaomo took the pen holder, and sure enough, the feeling of holding it was more comfortable than the pens he used on weekdays.

"It's going to take an hour." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This pen is actually still slightly thick, and it needs to be polished." If you are waiting, you can choose a pattern on the pen body on this car. ”

"Okay." Wen Xiaomo took the booklet and flipped through it, and quickly selected a sample drawing and handed it to the store.

After the store took it, he was still a little surprised, the general scholar made a pen, and the carving on the pen body could not run out of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, but this guest was different, and he chose the locust tree, but he had been in business for many years, so he naturally would not ask this kind of question to annoy, but turned his head to take the cut rice paper, and wrote out all the items of the customer's customized brush, and then handed it to Wen Xiaomo.

"The guest will take a look, and if there is no problem, you will need to pay the silver, and then in an hour you will come and get the pen with the deed." The shopkeeper said.

Wen Xiaomo looked at it carefully, and found no problems, so he folded the deed, stuffed it into his sleeve, and took a tael of silver from the money bag and gave it to the store.

"If the guests are impatient to wait here, there is a theater garden at the end of this street, and the guests can go and listen to the play. There is a small wonton stall opposite the opera garden, and the things are also good, and the guests can also go over for dinner. The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he whispered, "Actually, sitting at that wonton stall, you can also hear the drama in the theater garden!" ”
